HOT FRIDAY IN THE SUMMERTIME!!!

It IS FRIDAY!!! We are in the dog days of Summer, that is for sure! Today could reach a sweltering 104; it has been a tough, HOT week, and, I am praying for some reprieve, after all, it is time to enjoy the outdoors! I have heard that over 2 MILLION people are STILL without power, which means, it has been over a week! Oh MERCY! I hope they are alright, it is REALLY difficult to bear such heat, especially for any length of time! SO many things are going to suffer in light of this; crops, the economy, the Elderly, Children, Parents, well, all people in these circumstances, as well as, livestock, and, pets! We have to PRAY for them, and, put our POSITIVE thoughts UP to *GOD*, for reprieve, and, smooth resolve to this...

Did you learn anything this week? I learned a few things, one of which is, we HAVE to keep our cool, in more areas than one:))) Life can really throw you off balance, at times, but, that is when our experience, endurance, and, other characteristics of spiritual maturity come to LIGHT, or, should!!!

Dirty hands, iced tea, garden fragrances thick in the air and a blanket of color before me, who could ask for more?

Heat, ma'am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.
-- Robert Bridges
Summer is my favourite season, well, it always was before the weather began being so fierce, but, the times when the weather is kind, I know I will send the Child within, to gather up as many memories as feasible, that, come those days of dreariness, and, bitter cold, I can balance it all out:)))

Have a WONDROUSLY BLESSED Friday, and, kick the week past into the nearest water, and, watch it float away, as you, look forward to some special times this weekend!!!

MUCH LOVE, *GOD* BLESS, and, BE with us ALL! Stand in LOVE, and, share the PEACE which comes of it, that, everyone in your path is BLESSED!!! ENJOY!!!
